Thierry Nuttens has announced the launch of a new release candidate for the NuTyX distribution, version 9.0. NuTyX is a Linux distribution built from Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch which features a custom package manager called "cards". The new development snapshot features support for booting on UEFI-enabled computers, a new long term support release kernel and the installation media can be loaded entirely into a computer's RAM, freeing up the DVD drive or USB port. "The new ISOs can be launched on UEFI machines; if you have a UEFI-compatible computer, you can now install NuTyX in UEFI mode. If it's your case, the installer will guide you to make the correct choices during installation and the UEFI will take care of booting the machine; no other boot manager is needed by default. It's up to the end user to decide whether to choose one if needed. The ISO image can be loaded in RAM if the target computer has more then 1GB of RAM. The USB key can then be removed, making the single USB port available again. Useful when you want to install NuTyX on a tablet that has a single USB port."
